AGCO has revealed plans for further development of the Future Farm project in Zambia. This was announced on 31 July, 2019, at the 150ha farm outside Lusaka by Gary Collar, AGCO Senior Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific and Africa (APA) and the Future Farm Senior Manager, Kalongo Chitengi, during a ground breaking ceremony attended by Her Royal Highness Senior Chieftainess Nkomeshya Mukamambo II; Chongwe District Commissioner, Mr. Robster Mwanza and Doreen Bailey, Political and Economic Section Chief at the US Embassy in Zambia.

Liege Africa will construct Phase II, which will include the construction of student and staff accommodation with 24 rooms, communal amenities such as a canteen that sits over 80 people and an Insaka homestead – a traditional complex of grass gazebos with a central court yard to encourage interactive learning. The second phase of the Future farm will also include upgrades to the existing road and farm infrastructure and digitizing the mechanisation and agronomy training material to ensure that this knowledge is accessible even to farmers in remote parts of the continent.
